HBO’s Game of Thrones is king, leading the 66th Annual Emmy Nominations with 19 in total, including for Outstanding Drama, Outstanding Lead Actor Lena Headey and Supporting Actor Peter Dinklage.
Breaking Bad‘s final season is also heading out on a swan song, earning a grand total of 16 nominations, including nods for Outstanding Drama, Outstanding Lead Actor Bryan Cranston, Supporting Actor Aaron Paul, Supporting Actress Anna Gunn and Outstanding Writing and Directing for creator Vince Gilligan.
Among the other nominees for Outstanding Drama were Downton Abbey, House of Cards, Mad Men and True Detective, all of which, with the exception of new series True Detective, have appeared in this category before.
HBO’s drama likewise picked up acting nominations for both Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey in the Lead Actor in a Drama category. The new show scored a total of 12 nominations, just behind Netflix‘s House of Cards with 13.
“Quality television is now platform agnostic,” said TV Academy Bruce Rosenblum, and that was confirmed by the fact that Netflix also picked up nominations for its hit new show Orange is the New Black, landing an Outstanding Comedy series nomination and 12 nominations on the whole, the most of any Comedy nominee.
One of the more surprising snubs of the morning came from the Comedy category, in which HBO’s hit Girls was left out for a nomination in place of new HBO comedy Silicon Valley along with returning favorites The Big Bang Theory, Veep, Louie and four time winner Modern Family, looking to earn a record fifth victory in this category.
FX’s new miniseries Fargo also made a big splash this year, picking up 18 nominations aside other miniseries nominees American Horror Story: Coven, Bonnie & Clyde, Luther, Treme and The White Queen.
Mindy Kaling and Carson Daily announced the nominations Thursday morning from the Television Academy Headquarters in North Hollywood.
